NEW: A mural to Britain’s greatest ever tennis player is being painted on the side of his first ever tennis club in Dunblane. Abraham.O and Doppel are finishing up the artwork of Andy Murray with Murwalls. @LBC | @LBCNews | @LBCNewsScot
Although British tennis star Andy Murray may have ended his career at the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris, the former World No.1 will be immortalized at a tennis club that holds a special place in his heart.
After struggling with injuries and having several surgical procedures over the last few years, the 37-year old announced he would be calling it quits following the Olympic Games this summer. Murray competed alongside compatriot Dan Evans in the men's doubles event, and his quest for gold came to an end in the quarterfinals where he finally bid goodbye to the sport he loves.
Murray to be honored with mural at local tennis club
Knowing Murray's passion for the sport and his contribution to the growth of tennis in his homeland, it comes as no surprise that a mural celebrating the three-time Grand Slam champion is being created at his first ever tennis club. Located in Dunblane, Scotland, the artwork features an enthusiastic Murray yelling in triumphant victory.
Murray retired following a 19-year career that saw him reach the World No.1 position and capture three singles Grand Slam titles. Furthermore, the Scotsman won two Olympic gold medals (London 2012 and Rio 2016) and led Great Britain to Davis Cup victory in 2015. Additionally, Murray won the year-ending ATP Finals trophy in 2016, and has accumulated 46 singles titles and 3 doubles titles in his illustrious career.

- Anti-Social media has no guardrails... and the Lowest Common Denominators are free to demean and denounce anyone, any time; and obviously do so on a daily basis. Why? Because thus far, given the lack of oversight (much less control) over these public immorally bankrupt entities, there is little-to-no possibility of legal repercussion.

Unless this woman is running for office she doesn't get -- nor deserve -- the opportunity to literally reinvent what she plainly said the first time. She's no longer a tennis player, does not represent the sport, and should therefor refrain from meaningless drivel and snottyass remarks about her former colleagues.mandoist11-09-2024
- How is it not clear to pro tennis Elitists in charge that flooding the sport with more and more tournaments is NOT the answer? Such decisions made through PURE GREED disguised as "offering more up & coming players a chance to compete". This sport is, at the very foundation, a Business. Any corporate entity should know by now that introducing too many 'franchises' to a limited market is counterproductive to say the very least? And let us not forget the Top Athletes cannot be everywhere week-to-week no matter how much money the tourneys throw at them. Therefor you get a situation such as the US Open missing out on the Best-of-the-Best. Simple economics -- and definitely common sense -- seems to be lost on the WTA/ATP 'experts' in the offices.mandoist11-09-2024
- And NCAA basketball players? Football players? Am I mistaken or are these male athletes not subject to the same restraints? Also... where does this money go now??mandoist11-09-2024
